Egyptian slaves, specifically during the New Kingdom era, originated from foreign lands. The slaves themselves were seen as an accomplishment to Egyptian kings’ reign, and a sign of power. Slaves or b3k were seen as property or a commodity to be bought and sold. Their human qualities were disregarded and were merely seen as a property to be used for a master’s labor. Unlike the more modern term, “serf”, Egyptian slaves were not tied to land; the owner(s) could use the slave for various occupational purposes. The slaves could serve towards the productivity of the region and community. Slaves were generally men, but women and families could be forced into the owner’s household service.[5]
The fluidity of a slave’s occupation does not translate to “freedom”. It is difficult to use the word ‘free’ as a term to describe slave’s political or social independence due to the lack of sources and material from this ancient time period.[9] Much of the research conducted on Egyptian enslavement has focused on the issue of payment to slaves. Masters did not commonly pay their slaves a regular wage for their service or loyalty. The slaves worked so that they could either enter Egypt and hope for a better life, receive compensation of living quarters and food, or be granted admittance to work in the Beyond.[10] Although slaves were not “free” or rightfully independent, slaves in the New Kingdom were able to leave their master if they had a “justifiable grievance”. Historians have read documents about situations where this could be a possibility but it is still uncertain if independence from slavery was attainable
We know the pyramids were not built by slave labor. There were several months each year when the farmers had nothing to do, so they hired free farmers to build the pyramids. They were typically paid in beer and garlic, and we have found graffiti which basically amounts to different work crews smack talking each other about how slow they were. However, just about all other buildings in ancient Egypt were built with slave labor. They captured and kept tons of slaves for labor they didn't want to do, like pretty much every other civilization at the time.
This meme is double wrong.
Pyramids were not built by slaves, and obviously Egyptians are not black. Not even close, they are a completely different race.
Go in Egypt and call them blacks and they'll probably lynch you.
2,200 years ago in the ancient Egyptian city Tebtunis, Egyptians voluntarily entered into slave contracts with the local temple for all eternity. And they even paid a monthly fee for the 'privilege'.
Depends on what part of Eygpt you go to. There are plenty of black Egyptians there. The country is located in Africa and farther south you go in the country the more blacks you come across.
We wuz hippocritz
WE WUZ MASSAHS N SHEEIT!
Seriously holy shit this meme's potency is off the charts. I never thought of the pyramids (and everything else slaves built back then of course).
This meme needs to be a reply to every Twitter blue checkmark. But we all know they will ban this image.
We should send some blue checkmarks to mexico and Peru and have them force those people to give back The land to Aztecs and Inca
The live stream them getting their severed heads kicked down temple stairwells to appease a rain god. It’s their culture and it’s beautiful.
Reject colonization. Restore mass murder and rape
They already did. Mestizos have far higher birth rates than whites In Mexico, and like 2% of Peru’s population is white.
Next step, royal dick washers.
Paid with "rare animal bones".
Um-kay.
hahhahaha the globalist re-education camps say that they werent slaves hahahahah ....
even though the source material contradicts
"Many slaves who worked for temple estates lived under punitive conditions, but on average the Ancient Egyptian slave led a life similar to a serf. They were capable of negotiating transactions and owning personal property. Chattel and debt slaves were given food but probably not given wages." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Egypt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slave_Market,_Mono_version.jpg

There are also accounting records of the workers being paid.

Aren’t modern day egyptians actually arabs cause the muslims conquests bred them out of existance?
"obviously Egyptians are not black"
That's the punch line, right there
they werent slaves at first at first it was all fun and games
until the famine came
they first bought grain with their gold/money
then they sold their animals to the govt for food
then they sold their land to the govt for food
and eventually they only had themselves and became slaves
